Vintage Clothes, Big Ben and Peril

So, Ben and I were in London, we'd been to see a football match. He stayed behind to do some footbally things whilst I went shopping. I could see big Ben (that's the London clock not some dodgy nickname for my man) I was walking towards it but I couldn't for the life of me find it. So, i abandoned my search for it and decided to find some vintage clothing shops.

I stepped into one, it had a lot of modern clothes. Mostly hip-hop style but there was a small section for vintage. I picked out a few things but most of the collection was in stupidly small sizes. I hung out there for a while and eventually went to go and try something on. There was only one changing room available and two men stood outside, like bouncers. I went in and went to shut the curtain but they attacked me and said that I was bad mouthing the business.

Cut to me still looking at the vintage clothes like it had never happened.

I ring Ben to find out how long he is going to be and he says that he'll be there soon.

To my surprise in walk a load of Mundesley friends including two of my best friends Donna and Laura. They are having a party for one of the boys and are in London for some food and drinks. They are all quite broke so they sit down on the sofas in the vintage section and begin to prepare a load of appetizers to eat before they go to their meal.

A lady from the bar walks through (no idea why there was a bar in this shop...) and sees the huge table full of food. "You can't eat that in here, any food you eat has to be purchased here." She then proceeded to tell them about a pub across the road where they could eat their own food.

It was chucking it down with rain so I told Donna and Laura to grab a second hand umbrella from the shop. At first they said no but I persuaded them. I asked Donna if she wanted a purple one.

"No, purple makes me look old I'll have one that is black and blue."

I picked her out a black/blue umbrella and laura a pink/purple one. They all then went on their way and I stayed in the shop.
